The frehswater cladocera (Orders ctenopoda and anomopoda) of Mexico, with comments on selected taxa
Knowledge of the composition and distribution of the freshwater Cladocera in Mexico is still limited. All the available literature was reviewed and added to our own new records in different states of Mexico to present here a revised and updated list of the 110 species of the orders Ctenopoda and Anomopoda recorded for the country, with separate state records. Ecological, biogeographical, and taxonomic comments are made for selected taxa of the commonest neotropical groups: Sididae, Daphniidae, Bosminidae, Macrothricidae, and Chydoridae. La connaissance de la composition et de la repartition des Cladoceres d'eau douce du Mexique est encore tres limitee. Toute la litterature disponible a ete consultee et jointe a nos propres donnees sur plusieurs etats du Mexique. Dans le present article, une liste actualisee des especes repertoriees dans le pays et classees par etat est etablie. Cette liste comprend 110 especes de Cladoceres appartenant aux ordres Ctenopoda et Anomopoda. S'y ajoutent des commentaires ecologiques, biogeographiques et taxonomiques sur certains taxons neotropicaux parmi les groupes les plus communs: Sididae, Daphniidae, Bosminidae, Macrothricidae et Chydoridae.
